Since the end of the Qing-Japanese War, Feng. Colonel Calyput was very unhappy, he was supposed to be the commander of the Blue Legion, and he said that he was the Blue Legion and the Russian army attacking the Japanese flank on the inner line. However, the actual situation could not catch up with the changes on the battlefield, and the Qing army's defense line collapsed too quickly, and the Germans were too late to withdraw, and then they were forced to fight to the death with the Japanese army who turned around.

You don't have to say that the Germans fought fairly well, and easily fought a battle with a high exchange ratio. And then another unexpected thing happened, the Japanese coaxed! began to shrink the strength of the careful management of the direction, and at this time there was a problem with the Qing Dynasty's ability to pay, and the blue army that had no money to take it naturally would not contribute, plus some instructions from the country, this war just passed! That's it! Colonel Kalipme wants to use this battle to become a general!

Seeing such a small character as Schmidt on an equal footing with himself like this, it is impossible to say that the colonel has no complaints in his heart! So he seized every opportunity to show himself, but now the problem is, the world is very calm, well, Germany is very calm, the promotion channel within the German army is a little narrow, don't think about regular things, then you can only find some crooked ways, such as the blue army in the Qing-Japanese War.

And this time, just in time for Kruger to hire German instructors, in principle, it is necessary to have experienced officers, and the German side found Mackensen, after all, this guy participated in the Qing-Japanese War and fought on the front line. But the problem was that he was mainly an observer at the time, and although he commanded a battle on a separate battlefield, it was not enough to plan the overall situation. And this guy's skill tree at this time is all on the cavalry, and even if the Boers lack cavalry, this is a true portrayal of a professional mismatch!

Originally, Kruger wanted to invite Baron Schmidt, but people are busy now, and they are busy sorting out their combat experience after the war. By the way, he was busy going to major German military schools and troops to give lectures and lectures. No matter what their qualifications are, no matter what their military ranks, being able to win is the last word! Of course, although the Germans always thought that the Japanese were broilers, this broiler also fought with the Russian army! If it were a simple German-Japanese war, this result might not have been achieved.

But the same on the battlefield. The fact that the Japanese and the Russians fought and still had a slight advantage is enough to make people think deeply, the Russians, as everyone knows, the European steamrollers, they are quite fierce. Russia and Germany have never fought, but the Germans believe that Russia and France are at least one level, and the Japanese can draw with Russia, which means that the Japanese combat effectiveness is also quite high. And the Blue Legion beat the Japanese, then it shows that the combat effectiveness of the Blue Legion is so high that it is not known where to go, and the other German troops have to admit that the Blue Legion is very capable of fighting, and Baron Schmidt is very powerful! If he had been a Prussian, he would have been able to enter the General Staff!

Baron Schmidt's new rising star is simply too bright! directly lit up the eyes of a blind dog! And the original Supreme Commander of the Blue Army, Colonel Calyput, was like sitting on wax. No one remembered that he was the supreme commander of the Blue Legion, and when people talked about the Blue Legion, they would say, "This Legion knows." Baron Schmidt is a cool one! That's amazing! "Calyput is simply non-existent.

For their own glory, in order to realize their self-worth! Colonel Calipt strongly urged his old boss, Prince Leopold, to give him a chance. And the old prince couldn't wipe his face, so he went to find his nephew. Prince Ruprecht. The latter, on the other hand, is considering the issue of sending personnel. Seeing that this relatively lazy guy in history suddenly wanted to work hard, he naturally had to give him a chance, and he was later an important member of the General Staff of the Eastern Front. The ability is not said, and directly commanding tens of thousands of people is naturally the same as playing.

So, with a stroke of the pen, His Royal Highness the Prince agreed to the colonel's request. Colonel Calyput immediately assembled his team, and then confidently came to German Namibia, and after waiting for Mackensen and others, he came to the Boer Transvaal Republic.

This time, the colonel decided to play a big game, and he was determined to train the Boer army into the "Prussian Legion" of Africa in the next two years. And everything is in accordance with the "Bavarian" standards to build a complete set of equipment and logistics system!

In the face of the German military delegation, Kruger still attached great importance to it. Take Kalipt personally to visit the army and training of the Boers. The combat effectiveness of these Boers who grew up in a fierce environment is indeed good, even if evaluated by Calyput's critical eye, at least half of the young adults of the Boers can be called fierce! From the point of view of personal quality alone, these people's combat literacy is quite high, marksmanship, physical strength is absolutely first-class, although they have not undergone too professional training, but those who have been cultivated in the fight and battle for a long time are still quite terrifying!

Add to that the advanced semi-automatic rifles and grenadiers, and Cariput believes that an elite Boer squad is almost as effective as a Blue Corps squad of the same size. That's already quite a high rating! You know, the Blue Army was chosen from nearly 100,000 Bavarian Legions!

But as the scale of the exercise continued to expand, Calyput finally discovered the problem, that is, the more troops, the combat effectiveness of the Boer corps did not rise, but gradually decreased! Let's put it this way, three Boers and three German soldiers fought in a field environment, and the latter could be hanged. A squad of Boers and a squad of German soldiers fight, then the two sides can draw, and if it comes to the confrontation at the company level, then the Boers are definitely the side to be slaughtered!

IN TERMS OF WEAPONS, IT MUST BE ADMITTED THAT WITH THE INCREASING SIZE OF THE TROOPS, THE NUMBER OF HEAVY FIREPOWER POSSESSED BY THE GERMAN ARMY INCREASED MUCH FASTER THAN THAT OF THE BOERS, AND THE GERMAN ARMY COULD RECEIVE 82MM MORTARS IN A COMPANY-LEVEL CONFRONTATION. The Boers, on the other hand, used grenadiers in class confrontations, and still used grenadiers when it came to the plane. There is no essential increase in the intensity of firepower.

Another reason is that although the personal quality of the Boers is excellent, but the lack of discipline, when encountering a tailwind, it is naturally a morale rainbow, and if it encounters a headwind, it is the result of 20 votes! Moreover, the Boer army itself was extremely unsuitable for storming fortifications, and their weapons, morale and discipline were not adapted to siege warfare. And if the strong strongholds of the other side cannot be uprooted, then the British can continue to support, and the Boers will be consumed sooner or later.
